Accessing Capture
Navigate to Patient Profile
Select Capture
This is where live camera input, image capture, and image management are handled.
Browser Permissions
If this is your first time using Capture on this computer, your browser may ask for permission.
When prompted:
Allow camera access
Allow keyboard access
Select Allow while visiting this site
Without these permissions, live preview and keyboard capture will not work.
Selecting a Camera
In the Select Device dropdown:
Choose your intra oral camera from the list
If your camera does not appear:
Click the refresh icon next to the device selector
If it still does not appear, the camera may not be supported by web browsers
Only cameras recognised by the browser can be used.
Capture Options
Before capturing images, you can configure how images are handled.
From the Capture screen you can:
Change the file type
Choose where images are stored
Imaging
Attachments
Documents
Apply tags to captured images
These settings control how images are saved to the patient record.
Capturing Images
You have two ways to capture images.
Option 1: Click to Capture
Use the on screen capture button to take an image
Option 2: Keyboard Capture (HID Cameras)
If your intra oral camera uses HID and sends a keyboard keystroke:
Enable Keyboard Capture
A popup titled Configure Keyboard Capture will appear
Press the capture button on your intra oral camera
The system will detect and save the keyboard input.
Make sure Remember this shortcut on this computer is checked.
How Keyboard Capture Works
Once configured:
The keyboard shortcut is saved to that computer
Every time that same key or key combination is pressed, the system will capture the current camera view
No mouse interaction is required
This allows hands free image capture directly from the camera button.
Notes and Troubleshooting
Keyboard capture only works if the camera sends a keyboard event
Some shortcuts may be blocked by the operating system
If the shortcut does not register, try a different key or use click capture instead
Keyboard capture is saved per computer, not per user
